The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Plc (IBEDC) has completed a significant enhancement of its electricity infrastructure in the Sango/Ota axis of Ogun State.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Acting Managing Director of IBEDC, Mr. Francis Agoha, announced that the upgrade aims to substantially improve power supply reliability for customers in the region.
Key improvements include the successful migration of the Sango 33 KV feeder to a more robust T3 100 MVA, 132 KV/33 KV transformer at the Ota Transmission Station. Additionally, a new, dedicated ROTOCROWN 33 KV feeder has been introduced.
“These enhancements are designed to cater to the increasing electricity demands and ensure superior service quality for over 10,241 customers,” Agoha stated.
The upgraded transformers at the Ota Transmission Station now support three essential feeders: ROTOCROWN 33 KV, TOWER ALLOY 33 KV, and SANGO 33 KV.
This upgrade enables IBEDC to meet the rising energy needs in Alishiba, Ilogbo, Bayo block, Animashaun, and Ewupe, providing a stable electricity supply to these communities and the enhanced Sango 33 KV feeder.
“These improvements are expected to significantly enhance the quality of life for residents and businesses in these areas by ensuring more consistent and reliable electricity supply,” Agoha added.
He reiterated the company’s commitment to service excellence and infrastructure investment, emphasizing that the upgrade underscores their dedication to enhancing the electricity infrastructure in their operation areas.
The increased transformer capacity at the Ota Transmission Station will enable IBEDC to meet growing electricity demands and provide a more stable and reliable power supply to its customers in Sango-Ota.
Agoha affirmed IBEDC’s commitment to delivering reliable and efficient electricity services, stating that these recent upgrades are part of a broader strategy to modernize the power distribution network and enhance overall customer satisfaction.
“The ongoing commitment to infrastructure investment ensures that IBEDC can continue to provide high-quality electricity services to its customers,” Agoha concluded.
